What I used to refer to as the "Upper Yard" has now been named "Ringbalin".
This area has a coal loading facility that loads coal from a coal mine (which is all that is left of the old HO division) that is transported to a wharf on the "Lower Shelves" for loading onto a river barge that will take it to the mouth of the "Branyan River" for transfer to ships.

This where is the turntable is located it consists of 4 tracks 3 that run to the turntable and one that divides and ends in stub sidings.
The track comes through the Right hand side roller door splits almost immediately with the divergence forming a line that goes through the coal loading siding then on to the two (2) stub end sidings near the turntable.
The straight continues on through another set of points to form an entrance to the turntable while its divergence line goes to yet another set of points that split it to form two (2) more lines to the turntable.
The point after this set divergence goes to a stub end siding while its straight form a line which goes to an entrance to the turntable.
Further down these 3 line there is a network of points and a crossing that allow trains to move between them. (see pictures below)
This is inside the shed and marks the start of a "point to point" line from the top shelf down to the lower shelves via another loop through the shed or directly depending on the setting of a crossover network out in the backyard.

I have made use of my 3D printer to make my points and so far they have worked well (Grey ones in pictures).
